10th Anniversary screening of the cult-hit documentary DARKON about American LARPers. Called “eloquent and occasionally touching” by the NY Times, the film covers an epic war raging through the fantasy realm of Darkon. Skip Lipman, a stay-at-home dad leads his rebel army in a monumental quest to topple a mighty empire and lead the Realm to liberty and glory. The film investigates the LARPers lives in and out of the game offering insight into the players’ complex relationship with fantasy and reality. DARKON, beloved for its light-hearted romp in the imaginations of suburban Americans, has also been a point of reference as an ethnographic study of our relationship with escapism, war & fantasy.
